Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A coherence-based description of the Lyot depolarizer illuminated by polychromatic light of any spectral density distribution is proposed as a generalization of the formulas provided for symmetrical spectra by Burns [J. Lightwave Technol.1, 475 (1983)10.1109/JLT.1983.1072136JLTEDG0733-8724] and Mochizuki [Appl. Opt.23, 3284 (1984)10.1364/AO.23.003284APOPAI0003-6935]. The structure of the derived expressions is explained in physical terms, and a numerical comparison with the previous solutions is performed. The results of the numerical analysis show that the proposed description, when applied to any configuration of a two-segment anisotropic depolarizer, is fully equivalent with the Mueller-Stokes calculus for broadband light. Following this consistency, the range of accuracy of the formula by Mochizuki has been verified.
